No vacation for activities in the summer!

Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island programs don’t take a break in the summer.

At the final class of the spring session of pottery, instructor Sally Merino was treated to a party celebrating her retirement. Class members got a look at their beautiful, finished pieces in the art studio at the Dwares Jewish Community Center in Providence. Pottery continues in the fall with a new instructor.

In June, about 30 people attended a young professional’s happy hour at the Hot Club in Providence, celebrating summer and making connections.

In July, local authors in the spotlight continued with Bob Abelman and his wife, Judy, discussing his novella “All The World’s a Stage Fright” at the local literary hub LitArts RI.

And July ended with a challah bake in the JCC Social Hall as attendees of artist-in-residence Zo Baker’s Mindful and Sculptural Challah Bake learned thoughtful and creative perspectives on baking challah.
